Byron Bell took first-team reps at left tackle during the Cowboys' practice on Wednesday.

Tyron Smith (groin) was out again on Wednesday after missing Sunday's game against the Falcons. Chaz Green was demolished in that game, so the Cowboys will certainly look for a different option if Smith is forced to sit again. It looks like Bell is their guy. Bell started 17 games including the playoffs at left tackle for the Panthers in 2014. Thu, Nov 16, 2017 10:56:00 AM

The Cowboys needed some help up front after losing Doug Free (retired) and Ronald Leary (signed with Denver). Bell also visited the 49ers and Packers before choosing Dallas. Bell could be an option to replace Free at right tackle. He spent all of last season on injured reserve after disclosing his left ankle at OTAs. Fri, Mar 24, 2017 04:54:00 PM

Bell missed all of 2016 with an ankle injury. He was a starter the first five years of his career and could be a candidate to replace T.J. Lang. The 49ers have also been linked to Bell. Wed, Mar 22, 2017 04:44:00 PM
